My cousin Tim Meekum went to gospel meeting with us for the first time in a couple of months. He seems to be doing great. He was on a medication that was not right, so he got a little paranoid for awhile, but now they have it regulated again. The kids really enjoy talking to him on the way to and from meeting. We always get some cough drops to suck on at meeting and then stop after meeting to buy a 64 ounce caffeine-free diet soda and some salted peanuts. Today, he was lobbying for a fruit pie, but his weight is getting up there pretty high, so I nixed that.

He is coming over to our house for Thanksgiving this year. I also invited his Brother David and David’s wife Valerie, but they won’t be able to make it due to prior plans. I think the family will enjoy having him there. He is really very easy to have around.
